Broken manifold stud in head

were you using a craftsman extractor? they are junk, too brittle and break way to easy

I use to break them off all the time and then Dad would use a punch and get it out then use his extractors from work and back thew broken bolt/stud out every time

Now that dad is gone I have to be more carefull not to break them off ............LOL but I do have his extractors now


I would also recommend taking it to a machine shop, save the time and aggervation and not damage the head beyond repair.
